Negative impacts include: loss of land, loss of tenancy, permanent and full loss of private residential structure and commercial property, land safety hazards, impact of mobility, and loss of livelihood due to relocation. Mitigation measures include: (1) providing compensation at replacement cost for affected land as per land acquisition act (LAA); (2) compensating for standing crops, or income losses; (3) providing compensation for affected structure at replacement cost without deduction of any depreciation or salvageable materials; (4) training, credit access, and skill training support for maximum two youths (one male and one female) from the resettled families for livelihood strengthening with the help of non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and (5) undertaking necessary traffic management measures for facilitating mobility.
